Spruce up your house with color blocking

Color blocking – combining different bright colors into one daring whole – originated on the catwalk, but you can now also see it appearing in all kinds of trendy interior magazines. This often used decoration technique uses contrasting areas of color to give a look extra power. Mind you, color blocking is not a trend for wallflowers. For a successful end result you have to throw all caution overboard. Color blocking works best when you go all the way. Unexpected color combinations such as warm orange with fuchsia pink or royal blue with ocher yellow give your interior tons of personality. Do you like the idea but don't exactly feel like repainting your walls? Then we have good news for you: with custom wall decoration you can achieve exactly the same effect. Find a colorful painting and hang it against a wall in a contrasting shade. Or use wallpapers with a color block print so that you no longer have to think about a suitable color combination.

COLOR BLOCKING IDEAS

There are countless ways to integrate color blocking into your interior. For example, you can make your furniture clash with your wall by wallpapering the latter with a cheerful print. Or do it the other way around: change the look of your cupboards with a custom-made furniture sticker. Geometric prints in particular are very suitable for achieving a color blocking effect. The clean lines and pure shapes create a certain peace and harmony in the midst of all those bright colours. If you prefer neutral furniture, you can shift the focus to your walls. Are these already painted in a striking shade? Break through the monotonous color area with a painting in an opposite color. Or why not a roller blind? A terracotta artwork on a dark green back wall or a lavender roller blind against a mint green wall. Let your creativity run wild.
